This is the thanks W gets for backing Specter. I blame the W people as much as Specter. W should have stood on principle and supported Toomey. I sincerely wish Specter would have lost. I understand that conservative Jon Kyl would now be the Judiciary Chairman.
The struggle continues. It's great to celebrate the victory, for a minute or two, then get back to work and make sure that Senators like Spector and Chaffee never rise to positions of real power. Let the Republican leadership understand in the clearest terms why they are in Washington and who put them there.
Compromise for liberals--as George H. W. Bush learned--is just one step toward total victory. They're down, now kick!
Absolutely. Specter will be a huge thorn in our side. Much bigger obsticle than Sen. Kennedy and Sen. CLinton. This would be a disaster if Specter gets the committee chairmanship.
What he said.
... ~eh?
Bingo. But I am wondering just where W stands on this, really. Lip Service is one thing, but campaigning for Specter says much more, much louder. It's not as if this is a surprise to anyone.
Me too. I'd gladly sacrifice a seat to be rid of this pompous ass.
Agreed. What was Bush thinking by campaigning with this bozo?
